| Math Ques is a wonderful aide for the new teachers and an incredible addition to the seasoned teacher's set of tools.
Math Ques provide straight forward materials that focus on specific stands – this one targets linear functions. The materials are being used in classrooms with great success.
If you want to supplement the textbooks and ancillary materials, this is a great combination for learning Linear Functions.
Math Ques is not ‘reinventing the wheel' as many textbooks provide good solid examples. What teacher's want are good structured transparencies that
- aide in helping build a strong math foundation
- helps students organize their notes
- promotes a higher level of retention
- provides alternate perspectives to reach more learning styles
Math Ques helps the students
Better visualize the concepts being learned Create organized notes Increase retention to build on [scaffold] |
Teachers have the opporutnity to select the black and white reproducible transparency masters or a complete set of ready-to-use color transparencies that are specific to linear functions. The Blackline Masters are a cost effective alternative to purchasing the set of color transparencies. You can create your own transparencies from the Blackline Masters.

Calculating the Slope [15 transparency slides]
Using the graph - Rise over Run for positive and negative slopes
Special Cases: horizontal lines [zero slope], vertical line [undefined slope]
Calculating the slope based on two point formula [change in y over change in x]
Word Problems: graphing, identifying the slope and understanding the meaning of the x and y intercepts, writing equations
Tables: Calculating the slope, identifying or calculating the y intercept, and writing the equation in slope- intercept form
Given a set of points: put in table format, calculate the slope, identify or calculate the y intercept, writing the equation in slope-intercept form
Given one point and a slope: graph and write the equation in slope-intercept form
Linear Equations: [10 transparency slides]
Compare equations – slope-intercept, standard, point-slope forms
Changing forms from standard to slope-intercept, point-slope to slope-intercept
Write an equation in slope intercept form: given one point and a slope or two points
Write Point-Slope form: given one point and a slope or two points
Tables: write an equation to fit the data using either the slope-intercept form or the point-slope form
